BASE FRIENDSHIP
70; ZANGOOSE IS A BIPEDAL POKÉMON RESEMBLING A CROSS BETWEEN A MONGOOSE AND CAT. DESPITE BEING CLASSIFIED AS A BIPEDAL POKÉMON, IT USUALLY WALKS ON ALL FOURS. ITS FUR IS MOSTLY WHITE WITH DEEP RED, SCAR-LIKE MARKINGS ON THE FACE, CHEST, AND FOREPAWS. IT HAS TWO LONG, BLACK CLAWS ON ITS FOREPAWS, AND PINK PAW PADS ON ITS HIND FEET. IT HAS PINK EYES, LONG EARS, AND A SMALL RED NOSE. WHEN IT OPENS ITS MOUTH, TWO SHARP FANGS CAN BE SEEN ON ITS UPPER JAW. THERE ARE SMALL TUFTS OF WHITE FUR ON ITS SHOULDERS, AND IT HAS A LARGE, FLUFFY TAIL.
ZANGOOSE IS BITTER ENEMIES WITH SEVIPER, WHICH IT HAS BATTLED FOR MANY GENERATIONS. ITS CLAWS ARE ITS BEST WEAPONS AND CAN BE USED FOR ITS FORMER SIGNATURE MOVE, CRUSH CLAW. IT LIVES IN GRASSLANDS AND SAVANNAS. MEMORIES OF BATTLING ITS ARCH-RIVAL SEVIPER ARE ETCHED INTO EVERY CELL OF ZANGOOSE'S BODY. THIS POKÉMON ADROITLY DODGES ATTACKS WITH INCREDIBLE AGILITY.
ZANGOOSE USUALLY STAYS ON ALL FOURS, BUT WHEN ANGERED, IT GETS UP ON ITS HIND LEGS AND EXTENDS ITS CLAWS. THIS POKÉMON SHARES A BITTER RIVALRY WITH SEVIPER THAT DATES BACK OVER GENERATIONS.
WHEN IT BATTLES, IT STANDS ON ITS HIND LEGS AND ATTACKS WITH ITS SHARPLY CLAWED FORELEGS. ITS FUR BRISTLES IF IT ENCOUNTERS ANY SEVIPER.
IF IT COMES ACROSS A SEVIPER, ITS FUR BRISTLES AND IT ASSUMES ITS BATTLE POSE. ITS SHARP CLAWS ARE ITS BEST WEAPON. BASE STATS
